Utah Amendment 3 was on the ballot as a legislatively referred constitutional amendment in Utah on November 5, 2002. It was approved.

A "yes" vote supported amending the constitution to change the members of county boards of equalization to elected county officials and reorganize the Revenue and Taxation Article without any substantive changes.

A "no" vote opposed amending the constitution, thus maintaining the membership of the county boards of equalization as county commissioners and keeping the current wording of the Revenue and Taxation Article.

Amendments do not require the governor's signature to be referred to the ballot.
